A chic riverside manor on the banks of the Douro, ten minutes from Porto.

Property Overview

Agent Tips

  • Skip the taxi and take the hotel's complimentary boat to Ribeira instead, a scenic two-minute ride straight into Porto's historic center.
  • Reserve spa treatments early, especially the Sisley rituals: The Sisley Paris spa is a major draw, and its signature treatments book up quickly.
Accommodations

Fashion-house interiors from the world's leading designers.

Vinha's thirty-eight rooms and suites are each designed in collaboration with a different fashion house, among them Hermès, Missoni, Etro, Kenzo, Pierre Frey, Christian Lacroix, and Ralph Lauren. Rooms range from the more compact Petit Rooms with classic Americana or Indian-inspired décor through to the Vinha Master Suites, which face the Douro River and feature bespoke Hermès and Etro interiors. All rooms include espresso makers, minibars, and Jo Malone bath products, with many offering private balconies or patios overlooking the gardens or river.
Pool + Gym

A place to relax overlooking the river.

The seasonal outdoor pool sits alongside a pool bar and lounge, with sun loungers and garden and river views, making it a relaxed spot for an afternoon between Porto excursions. The fitness studio sits within the Sisley Paris Spa, with cardio machines and free weights, as well as personal training and yoga classes available on request.
Spa

Northern Portugal's first Sisley Paris Spa.

Vinha's Sisley Paris Spa is the first of its kind in northern Portugal, with a full hydrotherapy circuit spanning an indoor heated pool, vitality pool, Vichy shower, sauna, hammam, Turkish bath, ice fountain, and a sensations shower combining water pressure, aromatherapy, and chromotherapy. Treatments draw exclusively on Sisley Paris products and range from body scrubs and detox wraps to hot stone massages and facials. Spa access is included with all room bookings.
Restaurant + Bar

One Michelin star, one riverside brasserie.

Vinha Restaurant earned its first Michelin star in 2025 under Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa, with a menu that brings together Portuguese flavors and international influences. For something more relaxed, Terroir Brasserie draws on Central American aesthetics, with terracotta tones, wicker furniture, and plants gracing an outdoor terrace overlooking the Douro. The Reserva Bar offers a sophisticated and immersive cocktail experience, blending classic club aesthetics with contemporary mixology. The bar's interior features red velvet walls, black marble slabs, and intricate gold details, creating an opulent atmosphere. The signature Glamourose blends Grey Goose vodka, rose, cherry, hibiscus infusion, elderflower liqueur, and Pierre Ferrand cognac, finished with a smoked cherry stem.
  • Vibe
    Sophisticated, artistic, and fashionable, infused with creativity at every turn.
  • Who's it for?
    We love Vinha for design-minded travelers, food enthusiasts, couples, and honeymooners looking for a quieter base across the water from Porto.
  • Location
    Vinha Boutique Hotel sits in the Oliveira do Douro district of Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river from Porto's historic center. Porto Cathedral, Ribeira Square, and the Livraria Lello are all within easy reach, as are the port wine cellars that line the Gaia waterfront, with the popular Sandeman and Taylor Fladgate among them. The hotel's private boat taxi makes the trip across the Douro as straightforward as it gets.
